Well everything works perfectly on VLC. Any other program doesn't work. See for the pictures, exactly the same also xine. I would prefer to watch tv on kaffeine or me-tv. It works perfectly on usual mint, but both x32 and x64 lmde is exatly the same. The stream is MPEG-4 (x264). Anybody has any thoughts?VLCKaffeineME-TV

You could also try installing "totem-plugins-dvb-daemon" which gives Totem TV viewing abilities.

This was my first choice as it's Gnome's "official" way of viewing DVB and includes a nice DVB TV guide. Unfortunately it didn't work properly for me as i would get constant resource busy errors. The channel scanning and TV guide worked so the device was being accessed correctly, i'd just get an error every time i tried to watch or record something. But maybe you'd have better luck.

VLC worked but was a pain as i had to manually open up a channel list file every time i wanted to watch something.

In the end i went with Me-TV, but had to make some adjustments. I had to select the "xv" video driver in preferences to get a picture and the deinterlace settings didn't do a thing until i created a file "~/.me-tv/xine.config" containing the line "video.output.xv_deinterlace_method=linearblend".

xine-ffmpeg probably should have been installed as a dependency of Me-TV but if not then do as GregE suggests and install it.

Which kernel do you use. I found that with kernels later than 2.6.36 a lot of dvb-t support got broken. 2.6.36 kernels work fine, or there's a patch for 2.6.38 that works if you are happy to compile your own kernel.
